Our institution developed an inter-professional program aimed at reducing all-cause 30-day readmissions for patients admitted with AECOPD. Methods: We iteratively developed and piloted our inter-professional COPD HRRP […]

It also challenges hospitalists to lead, coordinate, and participate in multidisciplinary efforts to improve stroke care within their organizations. Hospitalist trainees will be better positioned to accomplish this if they have a broad exposure to the continuum of stroke care […]
